Tracing a descent from the ninth century King Kenneth MacAlpine, recognised as the founder of what became the Scottish nation, King Duncan I was enthroned in 1034, only to be later slain by the ambitious Macbeth.
• Duncan's son, Malcolm Canmore, took the throne after defeating Macbeth in battle in 1057 while his wife, Margaret, a daughter of Edgar Aethling, became one of Scotland's best loved queens, building churches and giving generously to the poor.
• The clan's turbulent exploits spanned the prominent and lofty saga of Scotland's history.
